67 4-Blade fans are getting rare and expensive. Here are a few nice solutions:
These fit all 2L water pumps and 68-70 1600 water pumps with the fan clutch deleted.
Alternative 4-blade* with nylon spacer 125.00 (sold)
Alternative 4-blade* with beautiful CNC reproduction aluminum spacer 145.00 (both sold)
Original NOS 4-blade Nissan Fan with beautiful CNC reproduction aluminum spacer 265.00 - last one
Very Limited availability.
*the alternative fans have been previously run/bolted up on restorations, all are in very good condition, but are NLA new. An excellent solution if NOS is out of budget.
Alternative fans do not fit 66-early67 1600 water pumps.

Re: 4-blade Fan Kits- Rare, Great Prices
maybe a silly question, but I currently have (what I believe is) a flex-a-lite 7-blade metal fan. Im assuming this is overkill, will replacing this help to reduce parasitic drag? I know its minimal but every little bit counts IMO

Re: 4-blade Fan Kits- Rare, Great Prices
Honestly, the flex fan is likely fine if 'the Datsun original look" doesn't matter to you.I have several used SS flex fans available (cheap) since I used a few and decided I don't care for them. caution- they are very sharp (slice open your hand sharp)
These guys work fine, are quiet, and look totally roadster correct.

Re: 4-blade Fan Kits- Rare, Great Prices
Simon's fan is massively heavy, like its made of depleted uranium, and really noisy. Its not a thin fan blade either, I'm not sure how much flex it actually has.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

I temporarily installed a 7-blade while awaiting one from JT.
Can't comment on drag - but certainly NOISY!!!

It definitely is sharp, I got so many slices on my wrists when I was doing my alternator swap that people nearly starting fearing for my life, luckily the slices were against the tracks not with itJT68 wrote: Fri Apr 06, 2018 1:05 pm Honestly, the flex fan is likely fine if 'the Datsun original look" doesn't matter to you.I have several used SS flex fans available (cheap) since I used a few and decided I don't care for them. caution- they are very sharp (slice open your hand sharp)
